Özet

As a psychologist for the Los Angeles police department, Jamie Beaverbrook has seen it all. Or so he thinks until the night a full moon brings out the crazies, including Terry Ferriman. Trouble is, Terry isn’t exactly crazy. But how else can the police explain finding the girl in an alley off Sunset, crouched over a man’s lifeless body, her mouth smeared with blood? After an interview that is unsettling at best, the good doctor decides to dig deeper into Terry’s story. What he discovers is that a world he previously imagined to exist only in horror movies is actually flourishing in the shadows of L.A. Vampires are real, walking among - and feeding on - humans every day. Beaverbrook knows he should be frightened, but his fascination with Terry is all-consuming. And when he realizes that a shadowy government organization has captured several vampires, including Terry, Beaverbrook must decide just whose side he is on…

Loved it, not what I expected at all. Really good narration loads of twists and I thought the ending was perfect

Awesome

Struggling to get passed an hour due to the damned awful narration. It's like he's never read a book out loud, let alone attempted different accents. Each sentence is said badly, each the same intonations. I found myself re-saying them inside my head. Please please someone rerecord this book with someone who knows what they're doing! Have given in at 1 hour so can't comment on the actual story except that it seemed interesting up to this point.

OK but...

I am a great Stephen Leather fan and have thoroughly enjoyed his Dan Shepherd and Jack Nightingale stories in particular. This book is rather different to his usual genre, being based on a very clever twist as to how genetically unusual individuals have, over the centuries, become the basis for the mythical creatures called vampires. They still exist in the modern world, but are hunted by the government, who want to take them apart, mentally and physically, in order to understand the genetic reasons for their longevity. This sounds dull, but the story is far from that. It is a gripping story of the developing relationship between a psychologist, employed by the Police Dept. to profile criminals who allege they are insane and a beautiful young woman, who turns out to be one of these genetically mutant individuals. It had me utterly gripped and the ending was the real bite in the tale. Not at all what I expected. An excellent and entertaining download. I heartily recommend it to you.

A bite in the tale.

purchased this as I enjoyed the Chinaman so much, despite it being a different genre. Guess I have a soft spot for vampires too after teenage love of Hammer horror films.

The end reminded me of a book I read years ago at school Burmese Days. It also reminded me a bit of a Steinbeck novel ( ie not one for those who like a happy no loose ends conclusion).

I am unsure of this read, I did find it hard to put down and part of me wants a follow-up novel.

l'd read another of Leather's horror type stories, but perhaps not too often.

Do I give it 3 or 4 stars closer to 4 but not a 5

Unsure

What did you like best about Once Bitten? What did you like least?

The descriptions of the night lives. I hated the main characters blindness to what was in front of his nose.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Jerry's past history from the basement was very good. All the trivia from his past on the other hand was predictable and boring

What three words best describe James Langton’s performance?

great characterization of each character

If this book were a film would you go see it?

No

Any additional comments?

The main character seemed to stumble about disbelieving the obvious.

This time NO
